Strategic Search for Manufacturing & Distribution Leadership Teams

High-Touch Recruiting for Critical Leadership Hires

CB & Associates partners with manufacturing, distribution, and supply chain companies make stronger leadership hires through a focused, relationship-driven search process.

Search With
Clarity and Intent

CB & Associates approaches high-touch recruiting as a strategic process, not a transactional one. The firm works closely with clients to understand the business need, define the leadership gap, and shape the search around the outcome that matters most. That means senior-level attention, targeted evaluation, and direct communication from the start of the search through the hire.

Procurement Manager

Eddie E.

It is rare to meet a third party recruiter with Cindy's integrity. She is smart, easy to work with, and has superior skills at finding and qualifying talent. She is open to feedback, understanding and accommodating regarding handling issues with an HR rather than a sales perspective. She values the right fit over just filling the job. She is a true partner in the staffing process and we collaborated extensively for years enjoying many successful placements. I would highly recommend her to any company for a third party or in-house opportunity.

Talent Acquisition Recruiter, Operations

Vicky L.

I met Cindy through the local PIHRA chapter after being laid off from Driftwood Dairy. I feverishly sent out my resume letting everyone on the planet know I was searching for new opportunities. Cindy contacted me and shared that she was interested in submitting my resume for the HR Director position with the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank. I was excited when I met and interviewed with the President/CEO and even more excited when I was offered the role. I have been with the Food Bank for almost 16 years and Cindy was God-sent to help me land the job of a lifetime. Since then, Cindy has helped the Food Bank with other roles and shared great industry expertise. Thank you, Cindy, for all you do, congratulations on 25 years! Keep doing what you do best!
